Main text Chapter 817: A plan is about to be made, and the southern border rises



Geng Chi's compliment at this time made Wang Jing recover from the shock. He looked at Qiu Yan and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

Now that things have happened, Wang Jing can see that it is no longer practical to expect Zhang Hai and Qi Jinchan to sideline Qiu Yan. It is not that Qiu Yan's tactics are high, but that Qiu Yan simply ignores those methods and uses the last resort. The direct and most primitive method shook the foundation of the two of them.

As an official, you have to do things in the end. If you meet a boss who is famous, capable, and efficient, the subordinates' sense of existence will be very weak, and there is no way to ignore him.

However, if Qiu Yan were to lay off the entire bureaucracy staff and spread the word, Wang Jing's image would be damaged and some hidden dangers would be left.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Wang Jing decided to delay Qiu Yan's decision.

However, before he could speak, Qiu Yan spoke first: "Qiu probably understands the difficulties of the Privy Council. In this case, I hope to get a promise from the superior officer. Regarding the dismissal of officials by the Imperial Council, the Privy Council will ask you to first That's right, the official will not implement it immediately. There should be a buffer time. As you just said, it will take some time to understand these officials. "

As he spoke, Qiu Yan laughed: "They didn't pay enough attention before, maybe they had some secrets, but they still didn't have a strong sense of crisis. They didn't know the urgency of the national war. I think they will have a new understanding from now on." As he spoke, , Qiu Yan glanced at Chen Ju, who immediately became excited and showed a flattering smile.

On the opposite side, Wang Jing saw this scene and secretly sighed in his heart, thinking: "You are the one who said that he wanted to be abolished, and you are also the one who said that he wanted to slow it down. Although it takes a few people to abolish and relocate the officials in the imperial department, The department handles it, but it all depends on the purpose of the Privy Council. With this big stick in hand, how dare those officials have different intentions? Anyway, since it is unsustainable, they might as well give him a favor, but he behaves like this. When the turmoil of the national war is over, he will definitely be settled by Qiu Hou, and I don’t know what he will do then. "

After thinking about it, he said: "The bachelor has already made a plan, so I will not interfere in this matter. As long as it does not interfere with the military affairs of the country, everything else will be handled by the bachelor."

As soon as Wang Jing said these words, Zhang Hai and Qi Jinchan's expressions immediately changed, showing anxious looks, but they did not dare to interrupt.

"That's good," Qiu Yan stood up and held his hands, "Thank you, Privy Councilor, for your accommodation." This was a sign of appreciation.

"Some trivial matters are not worth mentioning. The most important thing right now is the national war. I hope you can keep this in mind, bachelor." After being given sweeteners, there was no hope of being excused, and he was also given favors, Wang Jing couldn't help but give it a little beating. . Otherwise, the authority of the Shangguan will be lost, which will be detrimental to future work.

As soon as he said this, Qiu Yan immediately felt that his official fortune was about to fall upon him. It is the luck futon in front of the Si Yamen that represents his complete control over the Si Yamen.

No wonder, the boss has already acquiesced. Now that I have control over the life and death of my subordinates, I can stay or leave as I please, life or death is up to me.

In fact, for other government positions, one must also step into them bit by bit, demonstrate abilities, methods, and ultimately authority, which is exactly how to win the official fortune you deserve.

However, this process often lasts for a period of time, and some are complicated, and you have to peel off the cocoons step by step. It is rare for Qiu Yan to be so drastic and drastic, and he got the luck futon of his official position less than half a day after taking office.

When luck comes, a stream of clear water will immediately flow down three inches from the spiritual platform, but it is not the turbid Qi of the officials, but a kind of sustenance that is born out of the dragon's Qi and the thoughts of the people.

As soon as the blessing came to him, Qiu Yan's thoughts became much clearer. When he looked around, he had an inexplicable understanding of the structure of the entire Privy Council, and he felt connected to the Si Yamen.

On the opposite side, Wang Jing and Geng Chi seemed to have noticed some changes in Qiu Yan, but they did not say anything. They just continued: "I hope you can put aside some trivial matters and wholeheartedly take charge of the Chengzhi Division."

Qiu Yan nodded, and then said: "By the way, I learned from Zhang and Qi that some enemy chiefs were captured on the front line and I don't know how to deal with them. I have some suggestions for this."

"Oh? Have they told the bachelor about this matter?" Wang Jing frowned slightly. This matter also made him quite annoyed. His original intention was to use this to affect Qiu Yan's energy and make it difficult for him to use his hands and feet, so he arranged Zhang Hai and Qi Jinchan deliberately said something, but now that Qiu Yan had settled the situation, the news naturally had no such effect, but they did not expect that Qiu Yan would take the initiative to bring it up.

"That's what happened. It's the four major tribes under Rouluo. No, it should be the three major tribes now. The Tulang tribe has been exterminated by you..." Speaking of the name "Tulang", it was Wang Jingye I feel a little chill in my back.

It was not that he was ignorant of Qiu Yan's murderous intention, but the Central Plains was no better than the grasslands. Even a tiger that came here and was restrained by various rules seemed to have its hands and feet entangled and locked in a cage, and it was difficult to stretch its claws.

Apart from anything else, let’s just say that Geng Chi, who was next to Wang Jing, was a ruthless character in the beginning. He once led the army to kill and shed blood. But when he came to the capital, he had to abide by the rules. This is also the reason why Dali can stand up. This location is the reason why people can live in peace.

Leading the army to kill, and returning to the army to serve the government, you must always have scruples, otherwise it will be no different from the jungle.

"...Those three troops were ordered by the Rouluo people to block the army several times. In one attack, several Hu chiefs were plundered. The commander on the front line wanted to find out the military situation from them, but a few of them spoke hard and lost their souls. There are restrictions, so it is difficult to do what you want." Wang Jing said, changing the topic, "Speaking of which, the bachelor has experienced a lot on that grassland, and he should have some understanding of the habits of those barbarians. How would you deal with it if it were you? ?”

It stands to reason that capturing the enemy chief will be of many uses, but as the war is stalemate, there will inevitably be unrest on the front lines. At this time, it would be good if we could learn about the military situation from the captives. Even if we can't, then that's fine. Can be used to boost morale.

Qiu Yan pondered for a moment and then asked: "I wonder which commander is leading the army?"

The so-called commander-in-chief, also known as commander-in-chief, or commander-in-chief, is a general term for the generals assigned by the imperial court to command the soldiers of the three yamen. They can be divided into pacification envoys, economic envoys, etc. As long as there is a war, one will be temporarily assigned to handle the matter. The retreat is the general system of marching.

Wang Jing did not hide anything, and said: "It's the Hexi Economic Envoy in charge of the offensive on the western front, Tong Di."

Qiu Yan nodded and asked, "Can you elaborate on that matter?"

Wang Jing didn't have any airs, or he didn't think he needed to maintain his dignity in front of Qiu Yan, so he actually narrated the incident himself.

The thing is quite simple, it's not a surprise attack, but an unexpected gain, and it's not based on the entire battle situation, but now that I've caught it, I still want to take advantage of it.

After hearing this, Qiu Yan thought for a while and came up with an idea, then said: "In this case, it is better to put these enemy chiefs under house arrest, keep them well fed, and provide them with fine wine, food, silk, and silk."

"This..." Wang Jing was stunned and looked embarrassed, "Is it possible that the bachelor has some past relationship with these grassland herdsmen?" He could only understand it this way.

"That's not the case," Qiu Yan shook his head. "Since we have caught him, we can't get any information even by torture, and we can't use magical means. We might as well try another method. Torture is not the only way to get information. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Geng Chi showed a little interest. "You have achieved great success in the grassland. Let's not talk about military tactics. You are also very familiar with the customs and customs of the grassland. This statement is not without reason. out."

Qiu Yan nodded: "Envoy Geng is right. It is based on the characteristics of the grassland people. The grassland and desert are bitter, cold and barren. Even the tribal nobles enjoy only slightly better things than the common people in the Central Plains. Therefore, they have developed a copper heart." He is as cruel as a wolf and will plunder when given the chance, but if he suddenly falls into the land of gentleness, he will also lose his guard. "

"Huh?" Wang Jing also saw some clues from it, "You mean, let them reveal some secrets unintentionally? Are you still going to use a honey trap?"

Qiu Yan shook his head and said: "Why do you need to desecrate a woman's body for the sake of one or two pieces of information? During the national war, men were fighting."

After hearing this, Wang Jing frowned slightly, showing a slight displeasure, and then quickly put it away.

Qiu Yan continued: "Coercion and use are too obvious. If it is a honey trap, it will make people alert. In fact, the key to this strategy is to prevent them from realizing that they are revealing information. They will be provided with good clothing and food, and will be placed under house arrest." Get up and let them live the lives of ordinary people. There is no need to force them. Just arrange a few things, record everything they say in ordinary times, and send it to me for your own explanation. "

"Is it that simple?" Wang Jing still hesitated, "It would be a bit wasteful to support the enemy chief."

"Money and food should be used wisely. Instead of wasting it on personal gain, it is better to use it here. If you can get some information, you may be able to save the lives of thousands of soldiers, and the lives..."

Qiu Yan said seriously——

"It's priceless!"

………………

"allow!"

It didn't take long for Qiu Yan's proposal to spread to the palace and be known to Emperor Li Kun. With a stroke of his pen, he came to a conclusion——

"From now on, no matter what Qiu Yan mentions, there is no need to report it. You can go directly to the palace and see me!"

Listening to Li Kun's response, the several chief ministers in the royal study room all had secret thoughts in their hearts.

Behind the desk, Li Kun said again: "Besides, does he have any other requests?"

The white-bearded old man, Eunuch Wei, replied: "No, Bachelor Qiu is now familiar with the errands of Chengzhi Division."

"I heard that when he first joined the Chengzhi Division, he dealt with the backlog of military affairs for half a month in one go? In less than one morning? He is really a talented person." Li Kun sighed after hearing this.

Sometimes, when the news reaches the palace, there will be some changes, but generally it will not be out of shape.

"By the way, let him come to the palace often when he has time. His position as a Hanlin bachelor cannot be left vacant..."

Before Li Kun finished speaking, he was interrupted by an urgent sound——

"Your Majesty! There is an urgent military situation in southern Xinjiang!" (To be continued...)
